We have partnered with YEL! Youth Enrichment League to bring new summer camp options that will engage youth to THINK! LEARN! and PLAY WELL!
PROJECT RUNWAY
Sweet summer projects! Comfy shorts, a water bottle bag, crisscross headband, and more. No experience necessary. Students will make, showcase, and take home all their projects.
